Warhammer: This Galen's Heart of Steel

Chapter 23 Idealistic Oil Man
The Dreadnought.

just now.

After asking about the progress and safety of the transformation, Galen left the transformation laboratory after receiving affirmative answers from the two technicians.

The matter of the reorganization of the Legion can be put aside for the time being. The Emperor has not given him the mission of the Great Crusade for the time being, giving him ample time to resolve the mess in Demacia and the problems within the Legion.

In the dim room, the candlelight was dim, and the sparse light gathered on the table in the middle of the room.

Three silhouettes, their edges eroded by candlelight, sit at the wooden table, appearing to be constantly changing.

In the darkness where the candlelight could not reach, more shadowy figures could be vaguely seen leaning against the wall with their chests folded. They were tall, only slightly shorter than the original figure.

squeak--

The door of the room was pushed open, and the bright light from the corridor tried to squeeze in, but was blocked outside by an even taller body. Only a few beams of light could squeeze in through the gap between the body outline and the edge of the door frame, highlighting the majestic outline of the original body.

The Primarch looked around, faces after faces imprinted in his mind, and the information of each character flashed clearly in his memory.

Sitting in the main seat was the Grand Sage Victor of the Mechanicum.

Eden Victor is a nightmarish hybrid clad in Martian red robes who slithers across the battlefield on countless metal legs. Millennia of tinkering and body replacements have left Cawl a grotesque creature several times the size of a grown man.

On the left and right are Sirius, the forge master of the Fearless Stormtrooper Corps, and Butters, the captain of the first company.

Scattered in the shadows of the room were the Captains of the five remaining Companies, and four of the finest Techmarineers in the Legion.

"I am Eden Victor, the Grand Sage of the Mechanicus. I came to Demacia under the guidance of the God of All Machines to assist the Fearless Vanguard Corps in completing the transformation of the new power armor."

The deep voice of the Great Sage Victor echoed in the narrow room.

As the great sage's voice fell, several servo mechanical arms emerged from under the blood-red holy vestments, and took out a broken power armor from a large box beside it. It was Garen's [Heart of Iron].

"The technical level is admirable. The armor structure is so perfect that it makes me cry. This work is worthy of being passed down through the ages and has been watched by the God of All Machines, Om Messiah."

The great sage praised excitedly.

When the Emperor showed him this power armor, Victor thought that a new STC template had been found. He knelt devoutly before the Emperor and kissed his shoes, hoping to obtain this ancient treasure.

However, the Emperor told him that this power armor was made by the newly returned Primarch of the Second Legion.

Invention, innovation.
Several eye-catching and glaring fonts shocked the great sage's spirit. Invention is a taboo in the order's doctrine.

Of course, this does not mean that the Tech-Priests of the Mechanicus will not invent.

The Adeptus Mechanicus rarely invents anything. Although they occasionally tinker with designs, the only things they have truly developed from scratch are laser cannons and the Dune Stalker perpetual motion machine.
Tech-priests do not claim to invent anything, as invention is a cardinal sin in the Order's dogma; they simply "use divine reason to reconstruct something that has always been implicit in the logical structure of the universe."

The Emperor's words were automatically completed in Victor's mind.

The Primarchs of the II Legion, inspired by divine inspiration, began to reconstruct the cables in the manner Om Messiah desired, completing a new model of power armour.

This is also the reason why the Emperor approached Victor. Compared with other Mechanicus monks who believe in the Pantheon, Victor does not seem to be that pious.

No, no, no, you can't slander a Mechanicus Archmagus like this. All you can say is that Archmagus Victor is better at receiving the divine inspiration of the God of All Machines than his colleagues. "It's just that the material used to make this perfect object is a little inferior. Some unknown ingredients were mixed into the inferior alloy, making the armor plates made of these inferior alloys have a high strength far exceeding the material itself, and have a good resistance to psychic energy."

Under his heavy hood, his electronic eyes glowed mysteriously, and his gaze lingered on the Primarch for a long time.

"Please tell me, what is this unknown ingredient?"

Victor's tone was slightly excited. He couldn't wait to get this substance and then return to his laboratory to combine this unknown substance with ceramic steel or even refined gold. What kind of sparks would be created?
Victor couldn't wait to show off to his colleagues. The wise sage Victor, inspired by the divine power of the God of All Machines, reconstructed the material structure in the way Ohm Messiah expected, recreating the original appearance of the new metal.

"Forbidden Magic Stone, a special mineral that is made by crushing a special tree that grows in Demacia into powder and then re-melting it."

Galen replied in a calm tone.

“How can I get this precious tree?”

This is an affirmation rather than a question; the great sage is ready to give everything.

The Emperor also wanted to study this special tree. Considering the need to equip all the Space Marines, the demand would certainly be huge.

But after all, it is the hometown of the Primarch's son, and directly ordering him to pay tribute every year seems too cruel. This is also one of the considerations of the Emperor in sending Victor.

In fact, Galen's amazing ability in scientific research far exceeded the Emperor's expectations. The Emperor suspected that the Primarch was possessed by Tzeentch, but after observing the ruins for a long time that day, he did not find any trace of the evil god.

The emperor thought, this is the greatness of mankind.

The Emperor did not think any more about it, as this did not go against his original intention. The Primarch of the Second Legion inherited the Emperor's ability in the field of scientific research.

Each Primarch was created to inherit some of the Emperor's notable traits, such as the Thousand Sons Primarch Magnus's extraordinary psychic talents, the Salamander Vulkan's immortality, the Archangel Sanguinius's beauty, and so on.

The Emperor's original idea was to wait for all the Primarchs to return, let them take their armies to retake the Milky Way, while he himself would return to the Imperial Palace on Terra to study the Webway left behind by the Old Ones.

The Primarch of the Second Legion was the one he was going to bring back to Terra.

Loyalty, bravery, and fearlessness are what the Emperor values ​​in this team.

The scientific research talent inherited by the Primarch from him will better assist him in completing the Webway Project as soon as possible and freeing mankind from the control of the Warp.

Now, the Emperor has temporarily given up this idea. He always feels that this Primarch son is a little strange, although he has not found any trace of the invasion of the evil god.

To be safe, the Emperor finally decided to throw him out to fight as well.

"You are talking nonsense. I can give everything for the empire. I have prepared a well-equipped laboratory for the Great Sage. It is in the capital of Demacia. No matter how many forbidden magic stones are needed, I will send them to you."

Galen smiled.

The free ones are the most expensive.

If you don’t like some of the short plays, just assume I didn’t write them. Anyway, they are just the complaints in the protagonist’s mind. I mentioned at the beginning that the protagonist looks serious, but in fact, the complaints in his mind turn into a multi-person crosstalk.

From now on, when writing short plays, I will not waste words.

Damn it, the wonderful trick I thought of to increase the word count was taken advantage of, sob T_T
